Where Should I Have My skull Tattoo

In making the decision to have a tattoo on your body there are two main things that you have to decide. One is the tattoo design and the other is where on your body you are going to get it.

Obviously you need to think seriously about where you should get your tattoo as it will remain with you for the rest of your life. Your decision may be limited by a few factors - for example the size of the tattoo. If it is a very large tattoo design then you need a large amount of skin to take it. In this case you might be thinking about your back for example. But for any small to medium sized tattoo ask yourself some of these questions:

Do you want your tattoo to be seen?

This may sound like an obvious question but ask yourself if this is something just really personal to you? Or do you have a job that would not be suitable to have a tattoo showing? Do you think that in years to come, although you might still like the tattoo, you might want to have the option to keep it more discreet?

If you want it to be seen, who do you want to see your tattoo?

Are you not bothered who sees it? (boss, colleagues, friends etc). Or do you just want your partner or close friends to see it? Do you want to be able to hide it at work but have it out for all to see at the weekends?

Do you want your tattoo to be seen all of the time or just when you wear certain clothes?

Is the tattoo design such that it would look really great with strappy dresses, or with short sleeves shirts? If so do you want the whole design to show rather than being cut in half by the shirt sleeves? Or think about what other kinds of clothes that you wear that might make it only part visible so it would be better to show the whole tattoo.

Do you have other tattoos that you want to balance out with different placements?

If you already have a tattoo or tattoos then consider balancing the positioning so that they are evenly distributed around your body, or consult with a tattooist for artistic placement with regard to existing tattoos.

Do you have plans for further tattoos afterwards that would need more space than this one?

For example, do you have an idea that in the future you might want a large tattoo across your lower back so this time you do not want to block that space with a smaller tattoo.

Would this particular design suit a certain area of the body?

Some designs suit some areas of the body better than others and some are designed for specific areas so once again it might be wise to consult with the tattooist as to where to have a tattoo.

It is a good idea to look through as many designs as you can in order to decide on which tattoo design you would like and where you would like it positioned. See if you can find some in situ pictures of tattoos as they may look different once they are on the body to the paper design itself. Think about the positioning as much as you would think about the design. Tattoos can be a beautiful form of body art but as they are permanent it is wise to take some time to decide before you make the decision as to where your tattoo should go.
